Can I extend my payment deadline?

Yes, you can extend payment deadlines for your orders.

You can make the change easily in My BillPay. You can shift the date of payment by 5, 30 or 60 days. The first time you login, please use your e-mail address and your BillPay order number, which you can find on your invoice. You can then set a new password. Currently, a payment extension is only available for invoice and direct debit payments in Germany and only applies to orders that are up to a certain value.

I cannot pay via BillPay.

The billing address differs from the delivery address.

BillPay or the data sources BillPay uses have had a negative payment experience with the customer.

There are too many unpaid orders with BillPay. Please check any outstanding bills and pay them so you can make further purchases via BillPay.

Giropay is an online payment method that is offered as a service by over 1,500 banks.

Based on online banking with PIN and TAN numbers it allows an easy, straighforward and safe way to make online transfers directly from your ‘My BillPay’ account. All you need is a giro account from a participating bank that is registered for online banking. Usually customers are offered giropay free of charge!

The payment takes place directly in the safe online banking area provided by your bank. Therefore, we can guarantee that sensitive and personal data is only exchanged between you and your bank. No third party has access to your personal or account information.

More information about giropay is available here.

How does giropay work?

With giropay you can pay in a way that is easy, fast and safe via an online transfer using PIN and TAN numbers.

The SEPA payment procedure simplifies cashless payments and direct debits within the European Union, the European economic area, as well as Switzerland and Monaco. Transactions and direct debits to SEPA-countries will be as fast and as simple in the future as domestic payments are today.

-

What is preliminary information?

Every notification (e.g. invoice, policy, agreement) provided to the payer by the debit note issuer, which announces a collection via SEPA direct debit is considered to be preliminary information. Preliminary information must include the payment due date and the exact payment amount and may require multiple direct debits. It must be sent to the payer a reasonable amount of time before the due date so that the payer has the chance to prepare for the debit and ensure there are sufficient funds in the account. The manner of providing the preliminary information is in line with the collection agreement made between the payee and the payment provider.

+

-

What is a mandate?

A SEPA direct debit mandate is the legitimation for the collection of SEPA direct debits. A mandate includes the consent of the payer to the payment collection via SEPA direct debit to the payee, as well as the instruction to the appropriate payment provider of the encashment of the payment.
